Delighted to talk about the great work of NationalLobsterHatch - Lobster Experts go live 🙂

I'm not sure what the good people of Wales did to deserve this, but I recently joined @adamwalton with old pals Carly Daniels & @_CharlotteEve_ for a BBC Radio Wales #ScienceCafe all about lobsters. Have a listen!🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🦞bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/m0… NationalLobsterHatch @ExeterMarine ExeterEvo

To provide informed regulation and sustainably manage our marine resources we must concider 3 types of evidence ... Environmental, Social and Economic. Interesting to read about how genetics can help support environmental evidence. A lot to be learnt from what we can’t see :)

A new look at sustainable aquaculture development through the ‘one health lens’ a holistic view to driving aquatic food production ... definitely worth a read

I may be biased but check out this great read ... global.oup.com/academic/produ… The Natural History of Crustacea - Fisheries and Aquaculture .... I’m honoured to be amongst the list of experts that contributed to this book #lobster #fisheries #aquaculture

Bringing many of my favourite things together #fisheries #aquaculture #enhancement very interesting project ARC Marine would love to help link Reef Cubes with work Im involved with in the South West and NationalLobsterHatch could help populate an important commercial species #lobster

Great to do my bit towards the future of Sustainable Seafood Production - Evidence for informed regulation workshop summary highlights the importance of cross sector #collaboration in developing #sustainable use of our oceans #mariculture.Reports just out: exeter.ac.uk/research/saf/p…

Ongoing assessments of the live wrasse fisheries in the South West are being conducted by Devon & Severn IFCA and Cornwall IFCA ... just one of the many vital population monitoring exercises undertaken to support localise sustainable management.

Interested in seaweed? This Wednesday Carly Daniels and I are guest speakers at Cornwall's CafeSci Cornwall Science Community online event sharing our research on Seaweed Aquaculture bit.ly/30h5JYb Pls RT Uni of Exeter's ESI @ExeterMarine #seaweed #aquaculture #marinesocsci

Today's a good day to be on a seaweed farm! Sophie Corrigan MBA - Marine Biological Association Carly Daniels Cornish Seaweed Dan Smale IanAshton

Feeling honoured and humbled to be have helped represent NationalLobsterHatch the amaizing work of Cornwall on Simon Reeve amongst such inspiring individuals, organisations, charities and volunteers. #bigbeaverlove Thanks for creating a really interesting and eye opening show 😊

We have a #vacancy open for a Postdoctoral Research Assistant working alongside Dr Dan Smale to deliver #research examining the impacts of extreme climatic events on the structure and functioning of #marine ecosystems. Deadline: 26th February Details: buff.ly/3tFBGGD

As interest in seaweed farming continues to grow ... great to see more efforts to provide evidence for its positive effects on the marine environment thefishsite.com/articles/explo…

What an interesting idea ... the use of static illuminated pots .... could be a great way to move away from the use of towed (mobile) scallop gear #Sustainability #fisheries #innovation
